Sterile Clean Rooms

Clean rooms are commonly used for laboratory, medical, or
software engineering applications. These clean rooms are designed to protect
against dust, chemical vapors, airborne particles and other low level
pollutants while maintaining a controlled temperature. The trick to a proper
clean room is to control the air flow with the use of directional air filters
that allow for a laminar air flow. By utilizing laminar flow it continuously
cycles new filtered air into the clean environment to ensure no contaminates
are lingering.

There are four styles for measuring and classifying clean
room cleanliness: US FED STD 209E, ISO 14644-1, BS 5295 and EMP EU. However the
US FED STD 209E and ISO are the most commonly used. Classification of a clean
room is based on the number of particles allowed in a particular amount of air.
The amount of particles in a specific area is determined through the use of a
discrete particle counting device. The standards are broken up into different
"classes" and the larger the class number refers to a greater amount of
particles permitted.For example an ISO Class
5 clean room allows for 100,000 particles per cubic meter. Also, an ISO Class 5
room is the equivalent of a Class 100 US FED STD 209E clean room.

Only certain items are usually allowed into strict clean
room environments. Personnel will typically wear clean room apparel that will
not bring unwanted particles into the clean room. Items like face masks,
bouffant caps, beard covers, shoe covers and even approved cleaning wipes are
required for clean rooms with limited permitted particles. Soft wall clean rooms can be utilized for applications that
do have as sensitive materials. Clean rooms range in sizes as small as household
ovens or as big as warehouses.

Clean Rooms

Clean rooms are enclosures designed to facilitate sensitive research,
fabrication and other operations that must take place in the absence of
dust, moisture and other airborne contaminants. Clean rooms systems were
first developed in response to the needs of the aerospace and
microtechnology industries in the early 1960s. As those and other
high-tech disciplines like bio-technology and medical research
developed, and as products and research subjects became smaller,
airborne contaminants became increasingly disruptive. The rigidly
controlled environments with which these professionals began to surround
their work came to be known as clean rooms.

All clean room designs are intended to provide a workspace
in which factors like airborne dust, variable air temperature and pressures,
moisture and other atmospheric conditions can be carefully controlled. All of
the different possible clean room constructions allow professionals a range of
workspace possibilities. They range from strict Class 100 clean rooms to less
rigidly controlled portable clean rooms and modular clean rooms. As more and
more operations came to rely on clean rooms, regulatory authorities and
standards-setting organizations classified clean rooms according to their
capacity for removing contaminants. Class 1,000 clean rooms, for example,
employ clean room supplies that are unlikely to release fibrous contaminants.
The standards for clean room equipment used in Class 10,000 clean rooms are
less strict; they can often feature soft walls and are used for less sensitive
applications.

The measure of clean room cleanliness is the number of air pollutants that can
be found in an air sample. Many clean rooms are not intended to be completely
sterile environments. More typically, professionals concern themselves with the
amount of dust floating in the air or that can be kicked up from the floor when
stepped on. This dust is microscopic and can sometimes only be measured by
specialized machinery. There are some cases in which sterility is a
requirement; many medical research operations and testing procedures must be
conducted in a sterile environment. Pharmacological studies, infectious disease
testing and other highly sensitive medical research-related procedures often
require the complete evacuation of any microbes that may be present in their
surrounding environments. Clean room cleanliness is determined based on the
presence of contaminants over 0.5 micrometers in size. A human hair is usually
around 100 micrometers wide, and humans shed dead skin cells at a rapid rate of
100,000 particles per minute while standing still. For these reasons, very
little skin or hair, if any, is allowed to be exposed in clean room settings;
they are both usually covered by protective clothing. Also, most clean rooms
are equipped with some kind of air quality control system, many of which
involve air filters and fans that remove air from within the clean room and pump
filtered air in.

Clean room designs range in terms of size, material and their intended standard
of cleanliness. Clean rooms used by major manufacturers of microelectronics,
pharmaceutical products or circuitry can be as large as warehouses; these large
clean rooms are sometime referred to as "ballrooms." Other clean rooms can be
as small as household ovens; these are used in small scale medical testing
procedures as well as specialized, limited or exclusive-run manufacturing
operations. They can also be used for repairs and for small experiments.
Permanent clean rooms are usually built into the structures of the buildings
that house them, as are the machines that regulate their conditions. However,
some permanent clean rooms can be enclosed by glass or clear plastic walls.
Soft walls, which are most commonly used in clean rooms with lower
decontamination standards, are often made of flexible acrylic materials or
other plastics. All of the materials used in the construction of clean rooms
must be carefully chosen for their non-fibrous, non static
electricity-generating and non-corrosive qualities. Any material that could
contribute to air contamination must be avoided during the construction of
clean rooms. Even stainless steel can corrode when exposed to bleach, which is
sometimes used as a disinfectant.

There are two main standards systems against which the cleanliness of a clean
room is measured. US FED STD
209E is the system of standards set by the United States government; clean
room models are assigned a class number based on the number of 0.5
micrometer-sized particles found in every cubic foot of atmosphere within the
clean room. The class numbers correspond with the particle per cubic foot
number. Class 1 clean rooms can be expected to contain one 0.5 micrometer-sized
particle per square foot, Class 100 can be expected to contain 100 particles,
and so on. If regular, unfiltered air were assigned a classification, it would
be Class 1,000,000. The International Organization for Standardization also assigns
standards to clean rooms based on their anticipated contaminant levels, though
the ISO standards are assigned on a scale of three to eight, with three being
assigned to the most effective clean room systems. The British Standard system
is also recognized by some industries; their system measures contaminants in
cubic meters instead of feet.

Conventional clean rooms are generally permanent clean rooms and are
the most common type.

Laminar flow clean rooms have filtration systems that control airflow
and velocity to keep airborne particles from coming into contact
with anything.

Micro environments are clean areas constructed for semiconductor fabrication and other similar, sensitive fabrication processes. In micro environments, small clean areas are constructed around the wafer (or other project piece) itself
or around a part of the wafer to protect it from atmospheric
exposure.

Mini environments are localized clean areas constructed around a
specific tool or part to prevent atmospheric
exposure.

Softwall cleanrooms have walls constructed either of fabric stretched
tightly over a frame or of free-hanging strips of fabric.

Systems
- The

and air conditioning to a building or facility.

Laminar Flow - Airflow within
